Debut of unusual fall attire

It’s October, and we expect the cool fall air to VIEWS blow in and the hot summer air to blow out.

Stoneburner was recently given the 2017 Outstanding Caregiver Award for Home Health Services. Stoneburner is one of five recipients and is the only recipient from McHenry County.

Outstanding Caregiver Award winner

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com Cheri Stoneburner has been taking care of patients in the McHenry County area for the past 28 years.

“By the time I was 9 years old I wanted to be a nurse,” Stoneburner said. “After you’ve done it for so long, I know that I’ve been able to touch people’s lives, but I know that they’ve been able to touch my life, too.”

As a home care nurse, the Fox Lake resident has about 20 patients and sees about five to seven of those patients each day.

Some of Stoneburner’s responsibilities include providing wound care and following up on the postoperative cardiac patients.

“I also do a lot of teaching,” Stoneburner said. “Such as teaching diabetics about diabetic medications and about their insulin.”

Stoneburner has been a nurse for more than 44 years, working in McHenry County for 28 of those years, Stoneburner was recently honored with the 2017 Outstanding Caregiver Award for home health services. Stoneburner is just one of five recipients this year to win the award.

The award is given out by the Illinois Department of Aging and recognizes select caregivers for their exceptional work. The award was broken up into five categories: nursing facility, housing facility, home health services, Older American Act services and Community Care Program services.

Stoneburner, who won for the home-health services category, said she was nominated for this award by fellow nurses at Centegra Home Health Care and found out in September that she was one of the recipients.

“I’m just very humbled to have been named for this award,” Stoneburner said.

“I’m so fortunate I have really great people who I work with, and that’s what really makes all of the home care possible.”

The other four recipients for the

Stoneburner was recently given the 2017 Outstanding Caregiver Award for Home Health Services. On Tuesday morning, Jason Petersen, 43, passed away after a battle with cancer.

2017 Outstanding Caregiver Award were Michael Welch of Chicago, Sherry Roper of Pekin, Shirley Ferrell of Swansea and Mary Sensenig of Amboy.

Stoneburner was the only recipient who works in McHenry County.

Stoneburner has had many patients over the years, but she had one patient that she’s been caring for the past 20 years in McHenry. His name was Jason Petersen, who was disabled after a car accident in 1988.

“I have a lot of patients who I feel

very privileged to have been given the opportunity to help care for, and Jason was certainly one of them,” Stoneburner said.

On Tuesday morning, Jason Petersen, 43, passed away after a battle with cancer.

“After being with the family for so long, you just feel like you become part of the family,” Stoneburner said. “I’ve been taking care of Jason for two decades now, so I’ll miss him dearly.”

Linda Petersen, Jason’s mother,

said it’s extremely tough losing her son, but she’s thankful that Stoneburner was the one who helped take care of Jason and her family for all these years.

“We’ve always had a set routine with Jason every day and now we have to learn to get out of that routine,” Linda Peterson said.

“But Cheri’s been just an incredible nurse since she came here,” Peterson said. “I really hope we still stay in touch. She’s family now.”

Sparks fly between County Board chairman candidates

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The two candidates in the first race for McHenry County Board chairman talked up their records, and went after their opponent’s, in a recent meeting with the Northwest Herald Editorial Board.

The hourlong meeting with Republican County Board member Michael Walkup and Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks frequently got heated, with both frequently portraying one another as opportunists who are not truly committed to reform and solving the county’s problems, such as a crushing property-tax burden and stagnant growth.

Voters, who decided in a 2014 referendum to directly elect the chairman and end the practice of the board itself making the decision, will decide Nov. 8 who gets the four-year term. That winner will be in a position to set precedents and set the tone for the elected office.

Walkup, who was elected to the County Board in 2012, said he would like to continue the board’s work toward trimming expenses in the role of chairman. The Crystal Lake attorney also is running for his District 3 board seat, so he can vote on issues if he wins both – state law does not allow a popularly elected chairman in a county of this size to cast votes.

“We’ve accomplished quite a lot since I’ve been on the County Board. I think we’re the first government … not to take the cost-of-living adjustment allowed every year under the tax-cap legislation, and we’ve done it every year since. I don’t think any other government in the state has done that,” Walkup said.

But Franks responded that profound measures are needed to turn around the county’s fortunes, and called the chairmanship an opportunity to “fundamentally reform our government.” Franks, a lawyer from Marengo, withdrew from running for a 10th term representing the 63rd Illinois House District to seek the chairmanship.

“We have to get away from the old, tired politics, and this election is a choice between reform and the old status quo,” Franks said.

Franks touted his “Cut 10” initiative that seeks, within his first year in office, to reduce the county’s share of property-tax bills by 10 percent. He also has pledged to use the chairmanship as a bully pulpit to persuade other county

Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks (left) and Republican McHenry County Board member Michael Walkup are vying for McHenry County Board chairman. governments to do the same and enact cost-cutting measures, such as sharing services – county government makes up about 10 percent of McHenry County tax bills, which at least one study pegs as the 29th highest in the nation.

“Nothing is more important than lowering our property taxes and reversing the exodus out of our county,” Franks said.

Walkup responded that the chairmanship does not have that kind of power, and accused Franks of making voters promises that he will not be able to deliver. Walkup said the board, at his request, will meet to decide which programs are mandated by the state, which are necessary, and which are discretionary.

“We’re at the point now where we’ve created a pretty taut ship. What [Franks is] talking about now is cutting services that people rely on. You can’t go into the budget swinging around a meat cleaver in the hopes of hitting some arbitrary number,” Walkup said.

The two candidates agreed that the Valley Hi Nursing Home levy should be eliminated, given the home’s significant surplus.

However, it was almost the only common ground the two had.

Franks and Walkup clashed over Franks initiating an investigation by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund as to whether County Board members were working the required 1,000 hours a year to qualify for pensions.

Walkup said Franks wanted to “gin up” a controversy before his board run and drew board members into “a trap.”

Franks scoffed at the idea, saying that board members were caught red-handed receiving a benefit which they never should have received. He called the political angle a red herring, pointing out the IMRF’s own rules stating that county board members under a 1,000-hour minimum would only meet it in rare circumstances.

Franks also jumped on Walkup’s remarks on the board floor during the IMRF investigation that board members should take their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when it came to providing the fund with the paperwork they requested. Walkup replied that it was

Cary Village Board to hear mining proposal from Meyer Material Meeting set for at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Crystal Lake Holiday Inn

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – Lafarge Aggregates/Meyer Material Co. is expected to bring a new proposal before the Cary Village Board on Tuesday on how to complete mining at its site near Route 31.

The companies, which merged in the past year, want to use a specialized piece of dredging equipment that could finish mining as soon as December 2017, if the machine is active 24/6, Village Administrator Chris Clark said.

“I think that until the residents see this thing done, the thought of any kind of meaningful dialogue of redevelopment is impossible,” Clark said.

The Village Board had rejected a request for a three-year mining agreement by a 3-3 vote May 17, and Meyer has continued to mine the site from June to September and pay the associated $100,000-a-month fee from the original agreement. Typically, a petitioner must wait a year before coming back

• CHAIRMAN

Continued from page A4 not realistic to ask board members to reconstruct their work hours retroactive for two years, under threat of prosecution for filing false information.

A Franks bill to strip IMRF pensions from all future elected county boards statewide was signed into law in August by Gov. Bruce Rauner, shortly after the McHenry County Board voted to eliminate future participation for all 24 of its members. The IMRF investigation did not conclude one way or the other whether members worked enough hours to be eligible.

Both candidates also went after one another when the Editorial Board asked each of them a probing question

“Obviously, we have the issues of do we want to do a revised agreement. Why are they bringing this machine here now? Why didn’t they bring it in May? Well, it’s here now.”

before the board, Clark said.

Lafarge Aggregates/Meyer Material Co. will present three options to the board with varying days and hours to use the dredge machine, Clark said. If the board chooses one, the item would go to the board of zoning, planning and appeals before coming before the Village Board again for consideration.

The dredge would be a floating machine with a pipe off its side that sucks gravel from underwater, Clark said.

He and Cary Community Development Director Brian Simmons went to see a machine work in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and said while there are times the work is noisy, officials could dictate what days and times the machine works closest to property lines.

“So the noise issues can be managed, it’s that simple,” Clark said. “Obviously, we have the issues of do we want to do a revised agreement. Why are they bringing this machine here now? Why didn’t they bring it in May? Well, it’s here now.”

If the board approves the 24/6 plan, mining would start in March and finish in December 2017, and restoration would be complete by June 2018, Clark said.

Representatives from the companies spoke to about 35 residents living near the excavation site at an informational meeting Sept. 17, Clark said.

Cheryl Janu, who lives near the site

on Knollwood Drive, said that while she appreciated the informational meeting and the representatives’ willingness to answer questions, the proposal would be best to consider after a “one-year cooling-off period.”

“My concern is the village or residents agree to do a dredger and do it 24/6, and then we learn that it sounds like a lawnmower in your yard at 2 a.m.,” Janu said. “And I’m not for that at all. And by that time, it will be too late.”

Her husband, Bruce Janu, runs the “No More Mining in Cary” Facebook page and the “Stop the Quarry in Cary” blog.

Walkup said he grew up Republican, switched to the Democratic Party after becoming disillusioned after Watergate, and switched back in the 1990s after becoming disillusioned with “all the tax and spend, and quite frankly, with all the Clintons were doing.” As for backing the unsuccessful referendum to create a three-county Kishwaukee Valley Water Authority, Walkup said that he did so as a private citizen out of rural concerns that municipalities’ water use would adversely affect

their own.

Franks defended his record as a state lawmaker of fighting taxes and government growth, and saying that his independent vote has denied Madigan’s efforts to create a progressive income tax, a millionaire tax and other initiatives he called destructive. Had he cast a protest vote against the powerful house speaker, Franks said, he would have sacrificed any hope of getting reforms passed in the name of a futile gesture.

If Walkup wins both offices, he will not collect any extra salary or benefits.

He has defended the dual candidacies as no different from the outgoing system, in which the chairman is a board member who casts votes. Franks on Friday called running for both offices an embarrassment.

McHENRY – The Illinois Energy Association held its 10th annual Solar Tour at various locations around the state Saturday, including at McHenry County College’s Shah Center.

At the open house at MCC’s Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane, attendees were able to tour the building and learn more about how the sun’s energy helps generate the Shah Center’s heat and power.

The first part of the tour consisted of a brief history of the Shah Center’s solar panel installation. In June 2014, the Illinois Green Economy Network awarded MCC a $250,000 grant toward a 91-kilowatt solar photovoltaic installation. In December 2014, 336 solar panels, installed by Windfree Solar, became fully operational.

Windfree Solar President Doug Snower said the building’s solar panel maintenance has been minimal since installation was completed.

“These are great investments with environmental benefits, and they’re just honestly cool,” Snower said.

The tour also gave attendees a general perspective on the costs, processes, economic benefits and environmental benefits of converting to solar energy. Visitors got to check out MCC’s

Algonquin Village Board looking to grow corporate campus by adding dark fiber

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The village of Algonquin is looking to bring dark fiber to the Algonquin Corporate Campus to attract and retain businesses in the area.

“To have a state-of-the-art business park, we want to have state-of-the-art fiber there, and that’s what we’re providing,” Village Manager Tim Schloneger said at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting.

The total cost for the project would be about $202,993, according to village documents.

The dark, or inactive, fiber would

allow businesses to tap into high-speed internet using a third-party provider, Assistant Village Manager Mike Kumbera said.

The village expects to recapture the initial investment from future development by assessing a pro-rated fee to adjacent property owners to access the network, he said.

The Algonquin Corporate Campus is a 1,000-acre business park development on Corporate Parkway, off of Randall Road. Most of the campus is underdeveloped, Kumbera said, but they’re hoping to see more traffic with Longmeadow Parkway’s construction and the fiber addition.

There are 12 businesses there now,

Kumbera said, including Young Innovations, Cool Pair Plus, Progressive Solutions Corp. and United Information Technologies.

“This is our corporate business park, so [it’s] really the area that warrants that type of need,” Kumbera said. “It’s obviously something that will hopefully set the village apart and be an attraction magnet for development.”

At Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, trustees decided to move the item forward. It is expected to be considered at the Algonquin Village Board meeting, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin.

September the panels produced 10,533 kilowatt hours for the building.

MCC sustainability director Kimberly Hankins, who helped guide the open house, said this is the Shah Center’s first year joining the statewide event.

“This event is just a really nice opportunity for people to learn more

about solar energy,” Hankins said.

“And I’m always available to give a tour. So if anyone calls me at the college, I’m happy to meet them out here anytime.”

The Shah Center was just one of more than 130 Illinois buildings that took part in this year’s Illinois Solar Tour.

Do Something About It!

RUN FOR OFFICE

Do you know why your property taxes are so high?

Because our local governments, especially school boards and park boards and libraries, are DOMINATED by cheerleaders!

Think you don’t have the time? Most boards meet once or twice a month. If done right, serving on a school board or a park board takes a few hours a week.

Think you don’t know how? It’s easier than you think. If you’ve ever had to cut your own household budget, you’ve got what it takes. In four hours we can teach you everything you need to know about budgets and running meetings so you can make your own, informed decisions with confidence.

The McHenry County Good Government Association is looking for people to run for local office in next April’s election. The time to decide is NOW because you have to file this year. We don’t care if you’re a Republican, a Democrat, or neither one. All we care about is if you’ve got common sense and are fiscally responsible.

If you want to do something about lower taxes, contact the McHenry County Good Government Association at McHenryGGA@gmail.com

If YOU don’t run, WHO WILL? The tax-raisers, that’s who!

The McHenry County Good Government Association is a nonpartisan organization created for the following purposes: (1) to provide independent oversight of local governments; (2) to educate the public about important public policy issues; (3) to develop good candidates for public office by teaching them how to run winning campaigns and how to serve effectively.

If we’re ever going to change things, we need new people on those boards, people with common sense, people who think their job is to represent the taxpayer, not advocate for bigger budgets.

Tired of High Taxes?

Woodstock residents grow weary of special census

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The city has been conducting its special census for the past three weeks, but some residents don’t want anything to do with it.

Woodstock City Council voted in January to conduct a special census in some of its neighborhoods that have shown growth in hopes of achieving home-rule status. Cities with populations of more than 25,000 automatically qualify for home-rule status, which allows for the city to have more options on what kind of laws and taxes it creates. About $300,000 could also come the city’s way, by way of shared state revenue, according to the city of Woodstock.

The census planned to cover only certain neighborhoods in the community, such as Sweetwater, the Sonatas, Maples at the Sonatas and Walnut Ridge. Inaccurate results could result in less state funding, city officials said.

Some residents are protesting the census and have told workers to leave them alone – to little avail, they said.

Matt Monagham, who lives in the Sweetwater subdivision, said that the census workers won’t take no for an an-

swer, although the census is voluntary.

He claimed the workers have taken to knocking as late as 8 p.m., have talked to neighbors – including children – and have begun phoning residents who said they didn’t want to participate.

“It seems like we are under siege,” he said. “It seems very underhanded.”

Monagham said he didn’t want to take part in the survey, in part because he doesn’t think the city should have spent the money to have the workers come in.

“That money could have paid for a lot of stuff,” he said. “That’s a road.

That’s paying off a bond or at least lowering interest.”

The census workers aren’t employed by the city. The supervisor didn’t return calls requesting comment on the issue.

Joe Napolitano, the city’s building and zoning director, said that while he didn’t have details about what guidelines the workers are to follow, the special census should be done within a week.

“We try to keep updated every week on their status,” he said. “And based on updates, they have indicated that they will be done very soon.”

Key to enjoying volunteering is to stay in the day I started a new volunteer gig a couple of weeks ago. It took me awhile to find the right place. I had to fight with myself.

You see, I don’t have a lot of free time, so giving up more of it was difficult. But I knew inside I needed to volunteer. I knew the benefits of reaching out, getting out of my own little world, and giving back would be worth it. I have to tell you volunteering is giving me way more back than I am giving.

Each time I go, I leave with a smile, I feel like I did something worthwhile, and I am calm.

In between times, I find myself playing over the funny things that

VOLUNTEERING

Rebecca Stiemke happened. I remember laughs, the awkward times, and think about how I handled myself. It looks as if this is going to be a very long-term gig, which stresses me out a little bit, until I remember to stay in the day.

I want to encourage you to give back, volunteer your time. I know you are busy, but it will be worth it.

Here are a few volunteer needs list on www.volunteercentermcherny-

county.org.

• Albums of Hope needs your help making photo albums with motivating quotes for cancer patients and their families.

• Do you care about animals? Assisi Animal Shelter needs your help in several areas, animal care, crafters, office help and special events.

• Help pickup donations for Habitat’s Restore.

• Get your group to adopt a highway and clean the roadside.

• Adopt a book shelf at the Huntley or Crystal Lake library.

Every day you can find about 150 ways to help your community on

If you have a hard time deciding or don’t see a volunteer gig that looks right for you, call the Volunteer Center at 815-344-4483. We would be glad to help you.

When you volunteer everyone wins, the people around you, the community and you! Please consider inspiring others by giving back.

Environmental Defenders of McHenry County to host recycling drive NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will hold a recycling drive for items that are not usually accepted by curbside programs and would be harmful to the environment to put in a landfill.

Anyone is welcome to drop off items from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Grafton Township Office, 10109 Vine

St., Huntley, according to a release.

A monetary donation will be requested, with specific fees for some items including a 50 cent to $1 fee for fluorescent tubes, 50 cents per pound of household batteries, and 50 cents per pound of TV and computer monitors.

Other items that can be recycled include clothing, linens, rags, shoes tied together by their laces and placed in a

bag, reusable bubble wrap, VHS and cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs and aluminum cans.

Styrofoam will not be accepted because there is nowhere to recycle it, according to the release.

Defenders’ recycling drives are usually held the second Saturday of the month at various locations in McHenry County.

For information on the Environ-

mental Defenders’ recycling drives and the materials accepted, visit mcdef.org or facebook.com/EnvironmentalDefenders.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preservation and improvement of the environment. Donations help offset the costs of transportation and proper recycling, according to the release.

PATRICIA JEAN LUMPP

Born: July 18, 1935 Died: Sept. 22, 2016

Patricia Jean Lumpp, age 81, died Thursday, Sept. 22, 2016, at the home of her loving daughter in Portland, Oregon.

She was born July 18, 1935, in Steubenville, Ohio, to George Mayhew and Helen Alice (Baker) Deemer. She has 3 sisters, (1 who precedes her in death) and 2 brothers.

In 1954, during the Korean War, Patricia enlisted into the Army, (WAC) where she received training as a medical technician.

She was the recipient of the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal.

During her service, she met the love of her life who was also serving in the Army, Raymond Henry Lumpp. After a whirlwind 6-week courtship, they married on Feb. 12, 1955, in Dillon, NC. She was devastated by his death in 1992 from cancer.

Patricia was a redhead – with the feisty personality to match – and she loved those around her with her own special brand of fierceness. Her children were at the center of her heart: Michael Raymond (Lee) Lumpp,

Steven George Lumpp, Patrick Scott (Marilyn) Lumpp, Kathryn Ann (Kurt) Bennett and Brian John Lumpp survive her. She was the proud grandmother of 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Patricia and Raymond were proud to be foster parents to several more children.

Patricia was industrious, putting in long hours for the Motorola Company to help support her family. More recently before retiring, she managed the Crystal Lake, IL, Bethesda Lutheran Resale Shop, which she helped make a successful store. When not spending time with her family, Patricia volunteered at her church, her children’s schools, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. She has three sons, four grandsons and one great-grandson who are Eagle Scouts and one granddaughter who earned the GSA Gold award.

Patricia was a talented quilter, painter, gardener and baker. She was quick to offer help to anyone in need.

Toward the end of her life, even through her illness, her desire to create quilts for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was of the utmost importance to her.

She will greatly be missed.

Visitation will be at Colonial Funeral Home, McHenry, IL. Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016, from 3 to 7 p.m. with a memorial service at 7 p. m.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Host a party or make changes at home that will add to your pleasure or comfort.

Taking in some entertainment without busting your budget will ease your stress. Don’t try to buy love.

College enrollment dips among biggest in region The ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD – Small and medium-sized public universities hurt by the state’s historic budget standoff saw the biggest enrollment declines this year compared with similar-sized schools in nearby states.

The nonpartisan Illinois Campaign for Political Reform said in a report released this week that Chicago State University’s enrollment declined by nearly 25 percent – the largest decrease among schools with fewer than 10,000 students.

Eastern Illinois University had the third-highest decline in that group at 13 percent.

The report compared the schools with universities in Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Kentucky.

Enrollment at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale decreased by 7.5 percent. That was the largest enrollment decrease among universities serving between 10,000 and 20,000 students. Western Illinois University, which is also in that size category, saw enrollment decrease by 6.5 percent – the second largest decrease in that group.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers said the report

ILLINOIS

ROUNDUP

emphasized that several factors besides the state budget impasse could have contributed to the declines. But university officials and lawmakers have said high school counselors have been encouraging students to apply out of state because of Illinois’

financial uncertainty.

SIU spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said state universities’ efforts to recruit students will continue to be negatively affected by the lack of a state budget.

“It is still going to hang over us

and many other public institutions in the state as along as the budget impasse continues,” Goldsmith said.

The state has gone without a full budget since July 1, 2015, because of an ideological battle between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the Legislature.

The state is currently operating under a six-month stopgap budget, and universities received a small boost in funding in April.

But before that infusion of cash, they had gone nearly a year without state support, prompting Chicago State University to lay off about 300 staffers and at one point the school considered closing its doors.

“Without drawing a direct correlation, I think we all should be a little bit alarmed at what we’re seeing and hopefully keep this in mind when it comes time to renegotiate the stopgap budget,” said Sarah Brune, the executive director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.

Illinois’ larger universities, those with more than 20,000 students, have fared better than smaller institutions. Illinois State University and the University of Illinois’ three campuses saw slight enrollment increases, ranging from 0.2 percent and 1.8 percent.

Invasive stink bug spreads to more Illinois counties

CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois researchers said an invasive variety of stink bug is spreading in the state.

Kelly Estes is cooperative agricultural pest survey coordinator at the university’s Prairie Research Institute.

She said in a news release Friday that brown marmorated stink bugs have been found in five new, widely scattered Illinois counties.

The insect’s presence was recently confirmed in Macon, Winnebago, Clinton, Effingham and Stephenson counties.

The stink bugs were first found in the state in 2010 in Cook County and in the East St. Louis area.

The bugs feed on a wide variety of host plants in gardens, orchards and fields.

Estes said the bugs often winter in homes, and with the onset of cooler weather, may be seen on houses looking to find shelter for the winter.

Chicago apartments once home to cultural icons reopen

CHICAGO – Chicago’s Rosenwald Courts Apartments have reopened after years of sitting vacant on the city’s South Side, bringing new life to a historic complex once home to composer Quincy Jones, boxer Joe Louis, poet Gwendolyn Brooks and singer Nat King Cole.

The apartments first opened in 1929 in Chicago’s Grand Boulevard neighborhood. The goal of Sears, Roebuck & Co. President Julius Rosenwald was to provide decent housing for African-Americans at time of strict segregation.

The more than 400-unit complex became vacant in 2000. It was rehabilitated over two years into 239 oneand two-bedroom units for seniors and families at a cost $132 million.

In a statement Friday, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the restoration means Rosenwald Courts will bring new economic opportunities and affordable housing to the neighborhood.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump signs a hat after a rally Friday in Novi, Mich.

Unscripted Trump eclipses his own economic message

By STEVE PEOPLES

The Associated Press

NOVI, Mich. – Thousands of Michigan voters roared with approval as Donald Trump lashed out at an economic system he said was rigged against everyday Americans. They cheered louder when he declared that Hillary Clinton was to blame.

“I am going to fight so hard for all of you,” the Republican presidential nominee boomed as he read from a teleprompter, “and I am going to bring back the jobs that have been stripped away from you and your country.”

Friends and foes agree he is at his best in those scripted moments. But Trump’s frequent unscripted moments are often drowning them out – diverting attention from his economic message and alienating women and minorities with early voting already underway in some states.

The Friday night speech was the latest example of Trump’s sharpened focus on the economy – and his Democratic opponent’s shortcomings – as he treks across the Midwestern battlegrounds he needs to become the 45th president of the United States.

But on Twitter and in interviews, the former reality television star this week fueled a self-inflicted political firestorm after an underwhelming debate performance by attacking a former Miss Universe, first seizing on her weight and then calling on the world to view her “sex tape.”

“He’s not going to change. This is who he really is,” said former Minnesota Congressman Vin Weber, a Republican. “It’s ridiculous to even argue this, but if he could stay on message, which is to say if he could be somebody else, he could win.”

Lifelong Republican loyalists across the country are beyond frustrated that Trump’s dueling personas appear to be jeopardizing the

GOP’s chance to take back the White House.

Despite Trump’s faults, Clinton remains deeply unpopular and untrusted by a large segment of the electorate.

Yet there is little room in the national conversation for Clinton’s faults when Trump tweets about sex tapes.

Ohio GOP Chairman Matt Borges calls Clinton a “liar” and said she deserves to lose. “And just when it’s looking like it’s a good bet that she will lose, we’re talking about things that I believe don’t help us win,” he says.

There is little sign that Trump’s approach will help him expand his support beyond the white working-class voters who cram into his rallies. During Monday’s opening debate, the New York billionaire said African American voters are “living in hell.” And his four-day feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, a Venezuelan who is now an American citizen, threatens to push his already-low standing among women and Hispanics even lower.

Trump is also gambling he can help himself by highlighting Clinton’s role in her husband’s infidelities.

“Hillary was an enabler,” Trump told the New York Times on Friday. “And she attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward. I think it’s a serious problem for them, and it’s something that I’m considering talking about more in the near future.”

That’s even as Trump’s acknowledged his own marital infidelities, although he tried to draw a distinction with Bill Clinton. “I wasn’t president of the United States,” he told the Times when asked about his affair with Marla Maples when he was married to Ivana Trump.

“I don’t talk about it.”

Machado took to Facebook to say Trump’s tweets were part of a pattern of “demoralizing women,” calling them “cheap lies with bad intentions.”

Matthew now headed for Jamaica, Haiti

By HOWARD CAMPBELL The Associated Press

KINGSTON, Jamaica – One of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in recent history roared over the open Caribbean Sea on Saturday on a course that threatened Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba.

Matthew briefly reached the top hurricane classification, Category 5, and was the strongest Atlantic hurricane since Felix in 2007.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Matthew’s winds had slipped slightly from a peak of 160 mph to a still-potentially devastating 150 mph, a Category 4 storm. It was expected to near eastern Jamaica and southwestern Haiti on Monday.

The latest forecast had Matthew’s path passing closer to Haiti than before and the center issued a hurricane warning for Jamaica and “much of Haiti,” and said life-threatening rainfall was expected in parts of the impoverished Caribbean nation.

The forecast track would also carry Matthew across Cuba and into the Bahamas, with an outside chance of a brush with Florida, although that would be several days away.

“It’s too early to rule out what im-

As Matthew skimmed past the north-

ern tip of South America, there were reports of at least one death – the second attributed to the storm.

Authorities in the area overall breathed a sigh of relief as the storm

triggered heavy flooding in towns along the La Guajira peninsula of Colombia, but damage overall was minimal. Some officials were even grateful for the rain after a multi-year drought in the poverty-stricken area.

“Families that evacuated are returning to their homes,” said La Guajira Gov. Jorge Velez. “The dikes and wells filled up, the earth is moist, and this benefits agriculture in an area where it hasn’t rained for five years, benefiting the community.”

Authorities say that at least 27 houses were damaged and two roads were washed out. One person, a 67-year indigenous man, was carried away to his death by a flash flood in an area where it hadn’t rained for four years.

Elsewhere, all across Colombia’s Caribbean coastline, authorities have set up emergency shelters, closed access to beaches and urged residents living near the ocean to move inland in preparation for storm surges that they said will reach their most-intense moment sometime Saturday.

There’s also concern that heavy rain across much of the country this weekend could dampen turnout for a nationwide referendum Sunday on a historic peace accord between the government and leftist rebels.

BEIRUT – Russia warned the United States on Saturday against carrying out any attacks on Syrian government forces, saying it would have repercussions across the Middle East as government forces captured a hill on the edge of the northern city of Aleppo under the cover of airstrikes.

Meanwhile, airstrikes on Aleppo struck a hospital in the eastern rebel-held neighborhood of Sakhour on Saturday, putting it out of service, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees. They said at least one person was killed in the airstrike.

Russian news agencies quoted Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying that a U.S. intervention against the Syrian army “will lead to terrible, tectonic consequences not only on the territory of this country, but also in the region on the whole.”

She said regime change in Syria would create a vacuum that would be “quickly filled” by “terrorists of all stripes.”

Bustan al-Basha neighborhood.

State media said 13 people were wounded when rebels shelled the central government-held neighborhood of Midan.

In the rebel-held portion of Aleppo, opposition activist Ahmad Alkhatib described the hospital, known as M10, as one of the largest in Aleppo. He posted photographs on his Twitter account showing the damage, including beds covered with dust, a hole in its roof and debris covering the street outside.

A doctor at the hospital told the Aleppo Media Center, an activist collective, that thousands of people were treated in the compound in the past adding that two people were killed in Saturday’s airstrikes and several were wounded.

“A real catastrophe will hit medical institutions in Aleppo if the direct shelling continues to target hospitals and clinics,” said the doctor whose name was not given. He said the whole hospital is out of service.

Opposition activists have blamed the President Bashar Assad’s forces and Russia for airstrikes that hit Civil Defense units and clinics in the city where eastern rebel-held neighborhoods are besieged by government forces and pro-government militiamen.

OUR VIEW

Give support to United Way The United Way of Greater McHenry County recently kicked off its fundraising hoping to raise about $150,000 more than the little more than $1 million the agency collected last year.

It’s an aggressive goal, and we wish them much success. We’d also urge McHenry County residents who are in a position to do so to support the United Way campaign.

Many larger For the record employers across McHenry County United Way donations never allow employees to leave McHenry County and donate a portion of are used to fund more than 50 their earnings direct- specific programs provided by ly to United Way, but 27 different local social service there are many other agencies. ways to give. Employees of the Northwest Herald have been contributors to the campaign each year.

While the campaign goal is aggressive, it’s not even close to unattainable. In fact, if every employee in McHenry County donated just a dollar a week, the United Way would raise more than $7 million.

There’s not a great deal we can control from within McHenry County about where Illinois’ dwindling tax dollars go. We can advocate and hope for the best, but many social service agencies need those dollars, and the state often neglects to pay its bills.

The great thing about dollars donated to United Way is that money never leaves McHenry County and is used to fund more than 50 specific programs provided by 27 different local social service agencies. Those agencies include Pioneer Center for Human Services, Family Health Partnership Clinic, Catholic Charities, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Turning Point and many others that fill valuable needs across our communities.

While few question the value member agencies provide, the United Way doesn’t just hand over blank checks to any of them. There is an appropriate level of scrutiny that often is unmatched in government, for example.

Proponents of limited government also should be proponents of donating to nonprofit organizations to help fill the gaps of community needs where government can’t, won’t or shouldn’t. Needs don’t go away, whether tax dollars are addressing them or not. McHenry County residents know that and typically are generous, as anyone who regularly attends charity functions knows. A community that doesn’t address its needs reaps what it sows.

ANOTHER VIEW

‘And then what?’ a risky course

An assault by U.S.-backed Iraqi forces on Mosul, the largest stronghold of the Islamic State, is expected within weeks – far sooner than seemed likely a few months ago. Unfortunately, the acceleration is not good news. The government of Iraqi Prime Minister Haideral-Abadi is rushing the operation forward even though it lacks a strategy to secure and govern the multiethnic city of about 1 million people once the terrorists are driven out. It is recruiting sectarian militia forces that have a record of abusing civilians and seizing territory for themselves.

Plans for protecting refugees, who may number in the hundreds of thousands, are sketchy.

In short, the Mosul offensive is setting the stage for a potentially catastrophic Day After problem.

Although the United States has painfully experienced what such poor preparation can lead to, in Baghdad in 2003 and Libya a decade later, it is pushing the Abadi government to move still faster.

Military experts are more concerned about the aftermath than

the fight itself. Brig. Gen. William Mullen, who was deputy commander for U.S. operations in Iraq until June, predicted last week Islamic State defenses in Mosul could collapse quickly. “And then what?” he asked at a forum at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The Iraqi government’s plan, he said, amounts to “chips will fall and we’ll sort it out when we get to that.”

“That’s not a good plan,” Mullen said. “This is going to be ugly.”

It’s not hard to foresee where the ugliness will come from. Although the Mosul attack is expected to be led by U.S.-trained Iraqi counterterrorism units, Abadi has said Shiite militia forces also will participate. Iraqi Kurdish units also may move in from the north. Controlled by Iran rather than the Baghdad government, several of the Shiite militias were accused of atrocities during and after operations in the Sunni cities of Ramadi and Fallujah. There is ample reason to fear similar abuses against Sunnis in Mosul.

Once the Islamic State is vanquished, the various forces may turn on one another. Kurdish and Shiite fighters already have sparred in nearby Diyala province. Turkey has threatened to intervene on behalf of ethnic Turks in the city. Although a Sunni police force is being trained, it is a fraction of the size needed to prevent human rights abuses and factional fighting.

Plans for governance are equally threadbare. The Baghdad government has taken no serious steps to resolve long-standing disputes with Sunni and Kurdish leaders over territory, revenue and the delegation of powers to local governments.

Although the absence of such political solutions facilitated the rise of the Islamic State, President Barack Obama’s administration is not pushing for them. Instead, it has been encouraging Abadi to speed up the Mosul offensive, while leaving the Day After problem to the Iraqis. That is a highly risky course.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Vote for Franks, Althoff, Skillicorn

To the Editor: McHenry County needs strong leadership. We have clear choices to elect people with experience, ethics and goals for the future of this county. I have known and/or worked with Jack Franks, Pam Althoff and Allen Skillicorn for decades. I know they are all very good, thoughtful people who will provide the leadership this county needs to implement badly needed infrastructure to help create jobs while keeping taxes low. Join me in supporting and voting for these three people, who together have a vision of a positive future for McHenry County by making the tough decisions that will benefit all of us.

Algonquin Village President

Clinton has honed her skills

To the Editor: Hillary Clinton is my choice for president, not because she’s a woman, but because she’s the more qualified major candidate.

Twenty-eight presidents had been appointed/elected before the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.

Some of the most ill-qualified candidates (think Buchanan and Grant) were chosen solely by men. I, as a woman, take my voting very seriously.

During the 33 years I taught, I honed my craft. Therefore, I know I was a better veteran teacher than I was a beginner. Hillary Clinton has honed her craft while serving in various elected and appointed offices. She has been in the field, knows the territory, and offers a résumé.

Honing is how all of us – plumbers, hairdressers, writers, politicians – improve our performance in a specific area.

So, between the two major candidates, there’s no comparison when it comes to who’s better qualified to lead the United States.

The ultimate hypocrisy

identical to one articulated by Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, in his 2015 book “The Conservative Heart.” Because Republican conservative leadership failed to follow that vision, McMullin believes the GOP was “vulnerable to what I’d consider a hostile takeover by Donald Trump.”

McMullin is a former covert CIA operative who takes a dim view of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who along with his government, “are clearly attacking our democracy ... in the same way that they’ve attacked the democracies in Europe.” After detailing Putin’s process, which includes fomenting divisions along racial and ethnic lines, I couldn’t help but ask McMullin whether he thought Trump was either a witting or unwitting Putin agent. “Oh there’s no question,” he said. “There’s absolutely no question.”

That was part of a rhetorical world tour of the challenges facing the nation and the next president. Syria?

China? North Korea? Russia? All of McMullin’s responses were thoughtful and befitting someone with national

security experience. But they also had me wondering how what he proposed was radically different from what President Obama is doing or tried doing.

I also wondered how McMullin would win. He won’t be on the ballot in all 50 states on Election Day. And his push to deny Clinton or Trump the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency strikes me as dangerous given the Republican-controlled House then would decide who won. “If we’re able to do it, that will, I believe, reset the election. And then there will be a true three-way race between Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and me,” McMullin told me. “And I think we will then have a fair opportunity to make the case to the American people that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are both unfit for the responsibilities they seek and that I am a better choice for president for this country.”

“This country needs better leadership,” said Evan McMullin.

So many armchair politicians say those words and fail to follow through.

Not McMullin. The independent candidate for president threw his hat in the ring more than a month ago and has been taken seriously ever since.

Even conservative columnist Erick Erickson declared last week, “McMullin’s candidacy is not the lesser of an evil, but an alternative against evil.”

That’s a stamp of approval that should gain more currency for other conservatives after Donald Trump’s disaster of a debate against Hillary Clinton on Monday.

In the ninth episode of the podcast “Cape Up,” McMullin made a case for himself as a suitable alternative candidate, saying, “I heard a preacher the other day say, ‘If you’re voting for the lesser of two evils, you’re still voting for evil.’ ” McMullin is no fan of Clinton, the Democratic nominee.

But he especially is critical of Trump,

whose candidacy, he believes, not only has damaged the Republican Party but also endangers the nation.

Trump’s support, particularly from GOP elected officials “who know he’s dangerous,” left McMullin incredulous. These are people, he said, “who know what a danger [Trump] is to this country and how much damage he is doing to the country [with] the promotion of the racist alt-right movement, as well as ushering in this authoritarian view of leadership that he .... admires so much.”

“I think we need a new conservative movement,” McMullin told me.

That movement “would embrace the cause of individual liberty,” “would be inclusive” and “embrace diversity.” Case in point, his view on Black Lives Matter. When I asked him what he hears in the phrase, he said, “I hear a statement of fact. ... As a white male, there are certain challenges that African-Americans face that I don’t understand because I haven’t lived them.”

HARD PILL TO SWALLOW

Unhappy Target customers send strong message on prescription bottles

By TOM MURPHY

The Associated Press Longtime customers of Target’s pharmacies are finding a change in pill bottle design hard to swallow.

After CVS began operating Target’s drugstores earlier this year, distraught customers have been asking – in some cases begging – the drugstore chain to bring back the retailer’s red prescription bottles, which came with color-coded rings, labeling on the top and prescription information that was easier to read.

Some customers also took more drastic steps.

Vivian Ruth Sawyer went fishing through her trash to rescue the old Target bottles soon after opening her stapled prescription bag to find the dowdy, white-capped amber vials that are common in most medicine cabinets. She has since poured refills of her thyroid medicine into the old Target bottles, even though they don’t have the right expiration dates. It’s worth it, she said, because those bottles make it easier to tell her prescriptions apart when she looks in her drawer for them.

“This is really inconvenient and irritating,” the Louisville, Kentucky, resident said.

CVS says it is working on designing a new system for dispensing prescriptions and helping people stay on their medications, but spokeswoman Carolyn Castel declined to share details or say whether that might involve an updated bottle design.

Meanwhile, shoppers continue to mourn the loss of a bottle that was

Target flipped bottle design on its head when it introduced in 2005 a red container with the opening on the bottom.

That allowed the label to wrap around the top so it could be seen from above. It included a flat surface that

customers found easier to read than the curve of a typical pill bottle, and it came with color-coded rings for the neck to help family members quickly tell their medicines apart. Deborah Adler devised the new approach as part of her master’s thesis at New York’s School of Visual Arts. She was in-

spired to try something different after her grandmother mistakenly took her grandfather’s prescription. Adler now runs her own design business and is working with CVS on its new prescription system.

Why save before paying off the mortgage?

Dear Dave: I just read “The Total Money Makeover,” but I’m still unclear as to why you recommend saving for an emergency fund and retirement before paying off your home. Shouldn’t a house be paid off as quickly as possible, since it’s a liability? – Mark Dear Mark: I appreciate the fact that you’re asking questions and thinking things through. But please don’t fall into the trap of thinking of your home as a liability. That mindset is way off base, in my opinion.

Your house is definitely an asset; it’s the mortgage that’s a liability.

Some folks may try to position a house as a liability simply because it costs you money. But the truth is your home will make you more money than it will cost you over time.

Therefore, it is an asset.

Some of the saddest situations I’ve seen in all my years of teaching are seniors who have paid-for homes and

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey nothing saved or invested.Money isn’t the most important thing on earth, but it is a fact of life. That’s why I encourage people to build an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses and begin saving for retirement before they tackle paying off their homes.

Then, after all that is addressed, take every dollar you can scrape together and put it toward paying off your mortgage as fast as possible.

Good question, Mark!

Dear Dave: I make $2,100 a month after taxes, and I have accumulated $46,000 in credit card debt. My husband makes more than I do, but he won’t help me. He says I got myself

into this mess, so it’s my job to stop being irresponsible and fix it on my own. Do you have any advice? –

Peggy Dear Peggy: You’ve got a load of

debt hanging over your head right now, but I think you’ve got bigger problems than that. You told me you’re married, yet it sounds to me like you two are living entirely different and separate lives. This seems more like a roommate situation than a healthy, loving marriage.

I don’t like your husband’s attitude, but he does have a valid point in one respect. You were irresponsible with money, and now you’ve got a pile of debt on your hands. My big question is this: Where was he while all this was going on? Were you hiding it from him? And where was the communication and decision making, financial and otherwise, couples should engage in? Married people can’t live this way and win in their

relationship or with money.

The two of you desperately need to seek marriage counseling together.

This relationship is on the rocks. You and your husband obviously have no trust or respect for each other, and there’s a definite lack of communication, unity and shared goals. I don’t know what happened to bring things to this point, but the preacher didn’t pronounce you guys a joint venture when you got married; he said you were now one.

A little maturity, extra work, and living on a simple budget will go a long way toward fixing most personal finance issues. But your marriage is in big trouble, Peggy. Please seek help!

Continued from page 26 The red bottles were important to Christina Mihalek, of Cincinnati, because she accidentally took her mom’s high blood pressure medicine instead of an antibiotic when she was in high school, and she passed out in the lunch line that day. Mihalek took to Twitter to voice her displeasure, telling CVS in a post with the hashtag #redbottlesrock that “perfection was at your fingertips.”

Shelley Ewalt of Princeton, New Jersey, also tweeted to the drugstore chain, asking if there was any chance they might return to the “vastly superior design” of the Target bottles, which she found easier to open.

Woonsocket, Rhode Island-based CVS Health Corp., which runs the nation’s second-largest drugstore chain, started operating Target pharmacies earlier this year as part of a $1.9-billion deal the companies announced in 2015.

CVS’s Castel said the company stopped using Minneapolis-based Target Corp.’s bottles because it’s more efficient to fill prescriptions with the same bottle at all of its 9,600 pharmacies.

Customer visits to Target’s in-store pharmacies slipped in the second quarter. Castel said CVS doesn’t see a connection between that and the change in prescription bottles.

But the bottle switch might have influenced a small percentage of customers to shop elsewhere, according to Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst with market researcher NPD Group.

Shelley Ewalt sits in her home, in Princeton, N.J., near an open amber-colored CVS pharmacy prescription bottle, as she opens one of two uniquely designed red ones from Target. that regular customers to pharmacies don’t like change.

“When you start tinkering with things ... the consumer kind of gets a little testy,” he said.

Patients can buy prescription bottle caps that glow or beep when it’s time to take their medicine. But Purdue Uni-

versity pharmacy professor Alan Zillich hasn’t seen much of an evolution in the design of pill containers used by pharmacies because it just isn’t worth it, financially.

“Even though drugs cost a lot, pharmacies don’t make much off each individual prescription,” he said.

Sawyer still holds out hope that any new system CVS adopts might include features from the old Target bottles to replace the amber bottles, which she describes as a “ghastly” leftover from the 1950s.

“Everyone else uses the same stupid bottle,” she said.

Man’s declaration of love wavers when he’s drunk

Dear Abby: I have been living with my boyfriend for 11 months. Things are mostly good, but there are a few things I need your advice on.

He still hasn’t introduced me to his grown daughter, and he stays in contact with his ex-wife. When he gets drunk, he texts her and tells her he loves her and wants to go back home to her, but when he’s sober, he insists he loves only me and wants us to spend our lives together.

Do you think he’s still in love with her, or does he really love me? I have talked to his friends. They say he loves me and not her because he wouldn’t be with me if he didn’t. – Loves Me, Loves Me Not Dear L.M.L.M.N.: Do I think your boy-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips that she’s a threat to your relationship I can’t be sure.

What does need addressing because you and he have been living together for nearly a year is why you haven’t met the daughter, and the fact this man may have a drinking problem. Once you do, you’ll find the answers you’re looking for.

Dear Abby: Please encourage businesses to consider the benefits of hiring senior adults. They tend to be empty nesters and have skills one can learn only from years of experience in the job market. Seniors are prompt, non-demanding and without a sense of self-en-

titlement. The baby boomer generation already knows the computer basics.

They can be taught about software related to the job at hand, and they don’t have a tendency to “job hop.” Thanks for letting me have my say. – Believes

Marvin Jones, the NFL’s leading receiver, had a career-high 205 yards and two TDs last week in a loss to Green Bay.

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – Holding leads in the second and third sets of the Hampshire Invitational final Saturday, Richmond-Burton’s volleyball team tried to keep the ball away from Harvest Christian Academy’s Mikayla Robinson.

“We knew what they were going to do; we knew what to expect,” Rockets coach Lauren Hencier said. “Credit No. 11 (Robinson). We were trying to keep her out of system as much as possible.”

Despite the Rockets’ efforts, the 6-foot-2 South Carolina commit took over the match with 14 kills, and Harvest Christian came away with a 17-25, 25-18, 15-12 victory. R-B, which was 4-0 leading up to the final, had to settle for second place in the eight-team tournament.

In pool play, the Rockets (13-8) handed the Lions (16-7) their only loss, 25-23, 27-29, 15-6, and both teams finished the tournament with identical 4-1 records.

“It was difficult to lose that third (set), because we knew we could beat them,” said sophomore Kaitlyn Suhr, who had 32 kills in the tournament and was playing with a torn rotator cuff.

“We had a lot of energy the first time we played them and a lot of energy for that first set (in the final), but then it kind of dropped and we just got a little frazzled and let things get in our head.”

The Rockets jumped out to a 12-6 lead in the second set against Harvest Christian, but the Lions responded with an 8-1 run to take their first lead of the set and match. In the third, R-B jumped out to a 6-2 lead, but the Lions again overtook the Rockets with five straight points.

“I thought we gave away too many points in the second and third games,” Hencier said. “We had leads in both games and couldn’t finish the game. A little disappointing, but overall happy with the day.”

Robinson had four kills in the third, while the Rockets had two and struggled to get in their offense.

“Those kids don’t come around very often,” Harvest Christian firstyear coach Mike Bui said of Robinson.

“She’s athletic, and she’s playing a

Senior Addie Halverson led the Rockets with 48 kills and 36 digs in the tournament, Kayla Malec had 22 kills, Bailey Dean passed out 118 assists and Abby Svenson led the defense with 49 digs.

“We played hard all day, and when it came down it, we couldn’t finish,” Dean said, “I’m pretty proud of how we played all day. We’ve definitely come a long way this season. I think [Harvest Christian] picked it up a notch, too, and it was us trying to stay with them.”

The Rockets got to the tournament final with a 25-20, 25-20 victory over the host, Hampshire. The Whip-Purs (8-12) went 3-2, beating Burlington Central, 20-25, 25-16, 15-5, for third place.

Richmond-Burton’s Kaitlyn Suhr was playing with a torn rotator cuff and was second on the team with 32 kills. “She played really smart, finding holes in the defense all day long – she knew when to go up and swing away, when to tip, when to roll shot. I thought she did a really good job today.”

vote delayed to Dec. 12

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com The IHSA board of directors will not vote on a proposed pitch count recommendation at its monthly meeting Oct. 12. IHSA spokesperson Matt Troha said the board will wait to vote on the proposal at its Dec. 12 meeting to receive more feedback from its annual “Town Hall” meetings.

The IHSA conducts Town Hall meetings throughout the state during the month of November to keep principals up to date on rules and proposed changes. Principals at IHSA member schools are required to attend Town Hall meetings each year.

In August, the IHSA baseball advisory committee recommended a 115-pitch maximum per game for varsity pitchers. The IHSA previously had said the board of directors would vote on the proposal in October. The IHSA board has to pass the recommendation by a simple majority for it to become a rule for the 2017 baseball season.

The proposal follows a rule passed this summer by the National Federation of State High School Associations mandating that each state high school association come up with its own pitch count limit.

The IHSA proposal includes mandated days off based on the number of pitches a player throws on a given day. The proposal received unanimous support from the baseball advisory committee in August.

BEN SKOW Marengo, QB Skow ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the first quarter as the Indians, ranked No. 9 in Class 4A, defeated Mendota, 2812. Skow, a senior receiver, was filling in for quarterback Eric Mackey for the second straight game. Mackey took a helmet to a knee against Woodstock North and Indians coach Matt Lynch held him out of two games to heal. Skow led the offense as Marengo (5-1) beat Harvard and Mendota in those games. He completed 11 of 27 for 139 yards and 54-yard touchdown to Jake Vallee. He ran nine times for 59 yards and a 51-yard score.

BETTING ODDS

Almost one year to the day, the Bears returned from Seattle after an embarrassing 26-0 whitewash behind backup quarterback Jimmy Clausen, and along with a competitive opening day loss to the Packers followed by a beat-down at home from Arizona, the team was 0-3.

Sound familiar?

Next up was a young 2-1 Oakland Raiders team, and although Jay Cutler did return to the lineup, the Bears, without Alshon Jeffery and with Eddie Royal as their No. 1 receiver, responded with their best performance of the season, outgaining the Raiders, 371-243, and earning a 22-20 victory on a 49-yard Robbie Gould field goal with 2 seconds to play.

How might history repeat itself?

The Lions come to town Sunday 21st in total defense, 21st against the run, 16th against the pass, 27th in points allowed and their two best defenders, Ezekiel Ansah and DeAndre Levy, are out.

This is a real opportunity for the Bears’ offense to figure out some things, particularly up front where the Lions won’t have a dominant pass-rusher to give Bobby Massie and/ or Charles Leno fits, although firstyear end Kerry Hyder does have four of the Lions’ seven sacks in relief of Ansah at right end.

Bears rookie running back Jordan Howard will get his first NFL start, and with Levy out, only middle linebacker Tahir Whitehead is a significant run stuffer if the Bears can keep 32-year-old

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Haloti Ngata from filling two gaps and controlling the line of scrimmage.

Ngata has lost a step, but he still is a 6-foot-4, 345-pound beast in the middle.

Outside linebackers Kyle Van Noy and Thurston Armbrister in for Levy can be moved if Josh Sitton, Cody Whitehair and Kyle Long can consistently get to the second level.

Lions cornerback Darius Slay is one of the most underrated in the league at the position and he probably will wage an entertaining battle with Jeffery, but because of his contested ball abilities, Jeffery rates a slight edge there. And on the other side, Kevin White will have a big size advantage on third-year player Nigel Lawson, who is only 5-9, 192 pounds.

There are no ball hawks in the Lions secondary for Brian Hoyer to fear, as safety Glover Quin has Detroit’s lone pick in three games.

If Hoyer plays smart and doesn’t take any silly chances, this defense gives him a real chance to make some plays.

On the other hand, the Lions’ offense is a serious challenge for the Bears’ injury-ravaged defense.

Nobody can replace Calvin “Megatron” Johnson, but Marvin Jones is taking a run at it with 18 catches for 408 yards, averaging 22.7 yards a

catch to go along with two touchdowns through three games. Jones is on the Lions’ injury list with a hamstring but is expected to go.

Third-year tight end Eric Ebron also is off to a nice start with 14 catches for 168 yards and a touchdown, but Golden Tate has been slow out of the gate, catching only 13 passes for 94 yards, a 7.2-yard average.

The danger here is Matthew Stafford is arguably the hottest quarterback in the NFL since the middle of last season with 26 touchdowns and only four interceptions in his past 11 games.

The Lions haven’t run the ball particularly well, but look for rookie seventh-round draft choice Dwayne Washington to get extended playing time.

The Bears’ best hope of slowing the Lions’ offense is up front, where they are average with this year’s firstround pick Taylor Decker at left tackle and last year’s first-rounder, Laken Tomlinson – who is from Chicago by way of Duke – at guard, Travis Swanson at center, Larry Warford at right guard and Riley Reiff at right tackle.

The Bears have struggled to pressure quarterbacks, but the Lions are just 21st in percentage of sacks allowed, and if the Bears can find a pass rush, that will be their best hope of neutralizing or at least slowing Stafford.

HOW TO WATCH/LISTEN

Noon kickoff on Fox (Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Laura Okmin) and WBBM Radio 780 AM and 105.9 FM (Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, Zach Zaidman) KEY MATCHUP TO WATCH

Lions offensive tackles vs. Bears outside linebackers: Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had plenty of time to throw last week, especially considering the Bears hit him only one time to go along with zero sacks. That pass rush needs to get going against Lions QB Matthew Stafford, hardly known for his legs but someone who can beat you with his arm. OLBs Leonard Floyd and Willie Young have to step up against Lions tackles Taylor Decker and Riley Reiff.

Detroit has allowed eight sacks through three games and probably will be throwing it a ton at Soldier Field on Sunday considering it’s their team strength going against a Bears’ weakness. Floyd and Young can change that if they get going. Floyd had his half sack

against Houston and he did draw a holding penalty against Dallas, but he needs to show why he was a top-10 pick, using his speed, athleticism and length to affect Stafford.

Young was outstanding against Philadelphia, but didn’t get to Prescott last week. Decker is a firstround pick for a reason, but he still is a rookie. Reiff, a former first-rounder, can be beat on the right side.

Bears defensive coordinator Leonard Floyd Vic Fangio said the pass rush wasn’t good enough against the Cowboys, and it’ll be a long day for the defense if the rush is ineffective again against Detroit.

X-FACTOR

WR Kevin White: What can White do for an encore after his 62-yard performance on 14 targets against the Cowboys, including a highlight-reel, 32-yard catch? If Darius Slay is covering Alshon Jeffery on Sunday afternoon,

with safety Glover Quin keeping a close eye on the Bears’ top receiver, White will have favorable matchups, and he’ll need to take advantage. If he can build on all the confidence he and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains discussed this week, Detroit’s secondary could allow him for another breakout game. The Bears can’t afford to leave points on the field considering what Stafford and the Lions can do, so White will be key to moving the football, whether it’s on screen passes or plays down the field, to keep up on the scoreboard.

STAT TO KEEP IN MIND

The Lions have won six games in a row against the Bears, but never have beaten the Bears seven times in a row in the series that dates to 1930.

Big Ten football roundup No. 4 Michigan 14, No. 8 Wisconsin 7 ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Wilton Speight threw a tiebreaking, 46-yard touchdown pass to Amara Darboh midway through the fourth quarter, and Jourdan Lewis had a spectacular, one-handed interception for Michigan.

Jim Harbaugh helped the Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) beat a Top 10 team for the first time since their Rich Rodriguez-led team rallied to beat the ninth-ranked Badgers in 2008.

Wisconsin (4-1, 1-1) had the ball at its 8 with 2:59 and no timeouts left with a chance to beat a third team ranked in the top 10. The Badgers went for it on fourth-and-10 from its 8, with no timeouts left, and Alex Hornibrook’s deep pass was picked off by Lewis.

Lewis leaped to grab the ball out of the air with his right hand and pinned it against his hip for an interception near midfield with 2:15 left to play.

Indiana 24, No. 17 Michigan St. 21 (OT) BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana QB Richard Lagow caught a TD pass, threw for two more and took advantage of a second chance in overtime to set up Griffin Oakes for a 20-yard field goal and an improbable victory over the Spartans (2-2, 0-2). The Hoosiers (3-1, 1-0) trailed, 14-0, late in the third quarter before Lagow’s 5-yard TD catch on third-and-goal finally helped the Hoosiers turn the corner.

No. 2 Ohio St. 58, Rutgers 0 COLUMBUS, Ohio – J.T. Barrett broke the Ohio State record for career TD passes with the third of his four Saturday, and the Buckeyes forced Rutgers to punt on all 10 drives.

Barrett was 21 for 29 for 238 yards before giving way to backup Joe Burrow near the end of the third quarter. Barrett has 59 TD passes in 27 career games for Ohio State (40, 1-0 Big Ten). The Scarlet Knights (2-3, 0-2) never got deeper than the Ohio State 38.

Penn St. 29, Minnesota 26 (OT) STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Saquon Barkley scored on a 25-yard run on Penn State’s first offensive play of OT for the Nittany Lions.

Barkley finished with 63 yards on 20 carries for Penn State (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten), and Trace McSorley completed 19 of 40 passes for 335 yards and a touchdown.

Mitch Leidner completed 24 of 40 passes for 241 yards with a touchdown, and Rodney Smith and Shannon Brooks added 104 and 100 rushing yards, respectively, for Minnesota (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten).

Maryland 50, Purdue 7 COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Ty Johnson ran for 204 yards on seven carries, and unbeaten Maryland (4-0, 1-0) used a strong defensive performance to breeze past Purdue (2-2, 0-1) and provide first-year coach DJ Durkin a victory in his first Big Ten game.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NORTHWESTERN 38, IOWA 31

Carr’s 3 TDs lift Wildcats Regular-season winning streak ends at 9 for Iowa The ASSOCIATED PRESS IOWA CITY, Iowa – Northwestern finally found some points. Then the defense made a big play to secure a much-needed win.

Justin Jackson ran for 171 yards and Austin Carr caught three touchdown passes as Northwestern held on to beat Iowa, 38-31, Saturday.

Trae Williams’ interception in the final minute sealed the win for the Wildcats (2-3, 1-1 Big Ten), who scored touchdowns on three straight drives in the second half after Iowa ran off 17 straight points to take the lead.

“For us to weather that storm and then not to flinch after they went on a 17-0 run, I thought showed some maturity from this group, and then to get the finish was critically important,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “We’ve got to squeeze everything out of this group. I think they’re coming along for us.”

C.J. Beathard threw for 204 yards and a touchdown for Iowa (3-2, 1-1), which snapped its nine-game regu-

Northwestern offensive lineman Tommy Doles (71) celebrates with teammates after the Wildcats defeated Iowa, 38-31, Saturday in Iowa City, Iowa. lar-season Big Ten winning streak.

The Wildcats – ranked as the worst scoring offense in the Big Ten and 125th out of 128 FBS teams coming into Saturday – exploded for nearly as many points against Iowa as they scored in the past three games combined.

Northwestern’s Clayton Thorson threw for 164 yards. Carr – his favorite target and the Big Ten’s receptions leader – has caught a touchdown pass in four straight games.

He’s the first Wildcat player to do

that since 2000.

Jackson became the fourth player in Northwestern history to reach 3,000 career yards. The junior’s 58yard touchdown run late in the third quarter regained the lead for the Wildcats.

Defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo had four of Northwestern’s six sacks.

Huskers turn away Illini’s upset bid Newby shoulders the load to rally team in 2nd half

By ERIC OLSON

The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. – Nebraska’s fourth-quarter dominance showed up again Saturday. This time it was Terrell Newby leading the way.

The senior ran for 113 of his 140 yards and scored two touchdowns in the last 15 minutes, just in time for the 15th-ranked Cornhuskers to turn back Illinois’ upset bid and win, 31-16.

Newby touched the ball on 18 of Nebraska’s last 21 plays from scrimmage, and the Cornhuskers (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) won going away after being down, 16-10. They also avenged a 14-

13 loss last year in Champaign.

“Newby, I thought, was a real man today,” Nebraska coach Mike Riley said.

Newby didn’t have much choice.

Fellow running back Devine Ozigbo went out of the game late in the third quarter with an ankle injury, and backup Mikale Wilbon was banged up.

“I knew I had to kind of carry the load from then on,” Newby said. “I accepted it and wanted to do everything in my power to get the victory.”

Newby’s two TDs came as Nebraska scored 21 straight points to overcome a 16-10 deficit. The Huskers have outscored their five opponents 78-6 in the fourth quarter.

Illinois (1-3, 0-1) got off only 10 offensive plays after taking its six-point lead with 7:40 left in the third quarter. The Illini have lost 14 straight and 23 of 24 against Top 25 opponents.

“We got better today,” Illinois

coach Lovie Smith said. “We still have a loss, but I think we made improvements. We hung in there throughout, had a lead for most of the game, but it’s about finishing. We didn’t do that.”

Nebraska, favored by three touchdowns, turned over the ball on backto-back possessions while falling behind. The Illini had to settle for field goals after each takeaway, allowing the Huskers to stay close.

The Huskers went 18 plays in 10:42 to take a one-point lead early in the fourth. Nebraska kept the drive alive because of two huge penalties on the Illini. Chunky Clements had Tommy Armstrong Jr. stopped for a loss on a third-and-12, but he was called for a horse-collar tackle, and Darius Mosley was flagged for pass interference on a fourth-and-4.

The biggest play, however, was when Newby picked up a first down by inches on a fourth-and-1 at the Illini 4.

The morale.”

The tackling on punt coverage still needs work. Syracuse’s Brisly Estime had a 74-yard return late in the first half that setup a touchdown and left Kelly fuming on the sideline. Estime added a 38-yard return.

Kizer made it all OK for Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium.

He connected on three touchdown passes – two to Equanimeous St. Brown – that covered at least 54 yards each and ran for a score. Kizer hit a rough

patch at end of the first half when he took a 17-yard sack that knocked the Irish out of field-goal range and threw an interception.

Kelly said he told Kizer at halftime to stop trying to force big plays.

“When we went back out, relaxed up, took his words and ran with it,” said Kizer, who threw for more yards in a victory than any quarterback in Notre Dame history.

Eric Dungey passed for 363 yards and two touchdowns and ran for three

“He put a lot of power in the position coaches’ hands and he put a lot of power in our hands as player and said, ‘Let’s just come together as a family,’ ” safety Drue Tranquill said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NORTHERN ILLINOIS 31, BALL STATE 24

NIU gets 1st win of season in MAC opener

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com MUNCIE, Ind. – The Bronze Stalk Trophy is staying in DeKalb.

The Northern Illinois offense had a big day and the defense came up with an important late stop to help the Huskies to a 31-24 win over Ball State on an overcast Saturday afternoon at Scheumann Stadium – giving them their eighth consecutive win over the Cardinals and their first victory after a 0-4 start.

“We’re obviously happy – we’re 1-0 in conference,” NIU coach Rod Carey said.

“The guys are ecstatic. ... We ran the ball, and I think that was the biggest key.”

Offensively, the Huskies finished with 653 yards – 355 rushing – and Ball State had 427. The Cardinals’ defense came into the day allowing only 97 rushing yards a game.

Starting for the first time in his career, senior Anthony Maddie went 26 for 41 with 298 yards and two touchdowns and rushed 14 times for 160 yards, including a 75-yard score. He threw the game-winning TD to Kenny Golladay along the right sideline early in the fourth quarter.

“He’s a good player, and he has complete control of our offense,” Carey said of Maddie.

Golladay had another stellar performance, finishing with 13 catches and

184 yards and two touchdowns. Senior running back Joel Bouagnon had his best game of the season, racking up 153 yards on 21 carries and adding a touchdown for the Huskies (1-4 overall, 1-0 Mid-American Conference West).

Ball State (3-2, 0-1 MAC West) was led by sophomore running back James Gilbert, who had 119 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and sophomore quarterback Riley Neal, who went 23 for 40 with 276 yards.

“We had some opportunities in the second half and we just didn’t get it done,” Ball State coach Mike Neu said.

The win helped NIU avoid the first 0-5 start to a season since 1999.

With the Huskies leading 31-24 with six minutes left in the game, Ball State got the ball at midfield, and the NIU defense came out with a three-andout. Getting the ball back on their own 9-yard line, the Huskies converted three first downs and ran out the clock.

Leading the NIU defense was senior linebacker Sean Folliard, a Prairie Ridge alumnus who finished with 17 tackles – 2.5 for a loss – and had a sack and a pass breakup.

“I thought he played with good emotion, and he didn’t let the emotion override his execution, and he was where he needed to be when he needed to be,” Carey said of Folliard.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Notre Dame will count this as progress after a week of upheaval and adjustments for a beleaguered defense. They might have been only leprechaun-sized steps forward, but the Fighting Irish will take it.

Notre Dame tightened up its tackling and held Syracuse to seven points in the second half, and DeShone Kizer made up for most of the Irish’s ills with one of the best passing games in school history.

Kizer threw for a career-best 471 yards and the Fighting Irish snapped a two-game losing streak by defeating Syracuse, 50-33, Saturday.

In the first game since coach Brian Kelly fired coordinator Brian VanGorder, the Irish (2-3) allowed more than 30 points for the fourth time this season and 489 yards to Syracuse’s up-tempo spread offense.

“I wasn’t crazy about going against this offense,” Kelly said. “I much rather have been going against something a little bit different because of their tempo and how they spread you out and with all the freshman DBs that (we) play. That’s not always the greatest matchup. But I felt like the morale was really good on Wednesday, and that’s what I was looking to get back.

Hudson from analyst to coordinator and got more involved in the defense this week. Kelly kept his pledge to play more defensive players and make tweaks. The Irish mixed in some 3-4 alignments, and their defensive backs changed techniques to better guard deep routes. Cornerback Luke Cole was moved to nickelback, lining up inside instead of out.

There still is work to be done. The secondary, at times playing four freshmen, was porous and the front got little pressure. Positives: The Orange ran for only 3.4 yards a carry, and the Irish did a solid job of tackling after the catch. Syracuse had 266 yards in the last three quarters.

“We need to continue to improve on tackling,” defensive lineman Isaac Rochell said. “I would say we did better, but we still left a lot out there.”

A surprise hire before the 2012 season as a bridge from the stormy and successful Ozzie Guillen era, the former Sox All-Star third baseman guided the club to an 85-77 record in his first season, good for second place in the American League Central, and finished third in AL Manager of the Year voting.

Since then, the club’s performances have disappointed a fan base that has seen one playoff appearance and one playoff-game victory since Guillen led the team to a World Series title in 2005.

The Sox were 63-99 in 2013, 73-89 in 2014 and 76-86 in 2015 and are 78-83 (after a 23-10 start) in 2016.

The general consensus as the season winds down has been Hahn, vice president Ken Williams and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf would make a change, although Ventura said in August he hoped to continue.

CUBS 7, REDS 4

Lester: We haven’t done anything yet

Pitcher says ‘real season’ starts Friday

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CINCINNATI – Jon Lester paused just long enough to consider the Cubs’ 102-win success and choose his words carefully.

“I don’t want to sound like an [expletive] or anything,” the Cubs lefthander said, “but we haven’t really done anything yet.”

Actually, he sounded more like teammate and close pal John Lackey, who has disregarded haircuts all season and kept his eye on the “big boy” games now less than a week away as the season has slipped into October.

Make no mistake: Lester had a 20win season on his mind when he took the mound against the Reds on Saturday. “We’re all human,” he said.

But when his final start of the year ended in a 7-4 loss, bumped his second-in-the-majors ERA up to 2.44 and ended a 10-week streak of dominance, his mind was on what’s next. On Friday’s Game 1 start. On the prizes to be won in the month ahead instead of the six months before.

“It’ll probably go down as one of

the better, if not the best, year of my REDS 7, CUBS 4 career,” said Lester (19-5), a four-time Chicago Cincinnati All-Star. “Hopefully, there’s a couple ab r h bi ab r h bi more to come.

And it’s not that he doesn’t care ny Rizzo. Bryant has a shot at 40 hom-

about the possibility of a first career Cy Young Award.

“That gets kind of misconstrued,” he said. “I don’t pitch to try to win an award. I pitch to give our team the best chance to win and try to win a World Series, and if along the way I’m able to get votes and possibly win that, I’d be very humbled and speechless, and it would be an awesome experience.

“You don’t ever want to make it sound like you don’t appreciate those things.”

But Lester has 14 postseason starts and two rings. Lackey has 20 postseason starts and two World Series clinchers on his ledger.

It’s why they were brought in for a combined $187 million the past two winters, and why Lester sounds so sure about where his focus needs to be – even if he thinks he sounds like something else.

“Now it’s go time. This is what we’re playing for. This is the real season now,” Lester said. “It’ll be completely different when you step on that field come Friday with that crowd and whoever we’re playing. I’m sure it’ll be electric.

“The 100-and-whatever wins is great. All the personal stuff is great,” he said. “But this is go time now.

“Now we’ve got to really live up to the expectations and hype.”

CHICAGO – Robin Ventura’s fiveyear tenure as manager of the White Sox appears to be coming to an amicable finish, and the club will replace him with bench coach Rick Renteria, the SunTimes has learned.

Indications are the Sox are preparing to name Renteria, 54, as their new manager Monday. On SaturRobin Ventura day, the Sox announced an end-of-the-season news conference with general manager Rick Hahn for 11 a.m. Monday at U.S. Cellular Field, increasing growing speculation that a change would be made soon.

Hahn’s customary practice has been to address the media on the last day of the season.

After the Sox’s 6-0 loss Saturday to the Twins, Ventura was asked about the Sun-Times’ report and reiterated his position.

“We’ve been over this,” he said. “I’ll talk at the end of the year. We’ll talk about tonight. I’ve been pretty consistent with that. There can be whatever out there. For right now, just talking about tonight.”

Asked if he had talked with his players, Ventura said: “No, I Rick Renteria haven’t talked to them about anything. We’re still playing.

All the conversations I have with them are about playing. Chris pitching tomorrow, guys are playing. Nothing has changed with that.”

Ventura’s contract expires at the end of the season, which is Sunday, when the Sox will conclude their

12 GOLF: RYDER CUP

Americans take 3-point lead into final day

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

CHASKA, Minn. – Patrick Reed took over his match with putting and passion, and the rest of the Americans followed suit Saturday afternoon in a pivotal fourballs session that left them on the verge – again – of winning back the Ryder Cup. Reed and his bullish attitude was at his best, starting with a wedge he holed out for eagle.

That was the centerpiece of a four-hole stretch that carried he and Jordan Spieth to a 2-and-1 victory in the final match of another raucous and at times rude afternoon at Hazeltine.

The Americans had a 91/2-61/2 lead over Europe. They need to win only five of 12 singles matches to reclaim the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2008, and only the third time in the past two decades.

Europe trudged off the course with only recent history on its side.

It trailed by a slightly larger

The United States’ Patrick Reed (right) celebrates his birdie on the 14th hole with teammate Jordan Spieth during a four-ball match at the Ryder Cup on Saturday at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. margin, 10-6, four years ago at Medinah with Davis Love III at the helm of the U.S. team and then put together a staggering display of putting to produce the largest comeback by a visiting team in Ryder Cup history.

“We’re going to have to play tomorrow, as we’ve done before from a worse deficit,” European captain Darren Clarke said.

Most painful for Clarke was watching his best friend and captain’s pick, Lee Westwood, miss crucial short putts on the back nine in the only match that reached the 18th hole.

Westwood and Masters champion Danny Willett never trailed until they both made bogey on the par-3 17th.

Westwood missed a 5-foot

par putt to stay all square, and then with a chance to earn a half-point for Europe, he badly missed a 2-foot birdie on the final hole to give J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore a 1-up victory.

Phil Mickelson, in his 11th straight Ryder Cup, showed he can deliver on the golf course as well as he can run a task force meeting. Lefty produced timely wedges and key putts down the stretch as he and Matt Kuchar combined for nine birdies in a 2-and-1 victory over Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer.

The final hour turned solid red on the scoreboard, enough to overcome the undefeated tandem of Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters. They won all three matches, and they were never more dynamic than fourballs when they were 11-under par through 17 holes. Pieters drove the par-4 fifth green and made eagle, and McIlroy stared down the hostile American crowd with every birdie that left Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka no chance.

Cubs need drama this season

We were at Murphy’s Bleachers after another Cubs win.

My friend Hal toasted, “To the Cubs!

The next World Series Champions!”

I raised my glass, but before I ritually clinked, I posed this thought to the group: “I like the Cubs winning, but I think their margin of victories takes some of the fun out of it. I’m not saying I want them to lose, but wouldn’t it be more fun if they had a series of losses or a bona fide playoff struggle? You know, to increase the tension and make it more interesting.”

No one clinked my glass. Instead they all set their glasses down. They looked at each other like it was a heist movie and they just figured out who the informant was.

“You’re kidding, right?” Jerry said.

“No, I think drama is important.

Even Aristotle proposed that suspense is the building block for true drama. The protagonist needs to suffer, insurmountable odds, a single ray of hope. That sort of thing.”

Reggie said, “Listen, being a Cubs fan is like waiting for your prom date and she cancels at the last minute. Every.

Single. Year.”

“Amen to that,” Hal said. “Like 2003?

Prior, Wood and Sosa. NLCS, Game 6.

Five outs from the World Series. ‘He Who Cannot Be Named’ gets a foul ball souvenir while we watch the Marlins go to The Series. No thanks, I’ll take a Cubs blowout series.”

Jerry added, “Or what about 2008?

Big Z and D-Lee, Sweet Lou at the helm – swept in the NLDS by the Dodgers. Not for me. I’d rather the Cubs get 15 runs in the first inning and throw a shutout.

Every game.”

“1984 anyone?” Reggie said. Everyone put their head down and shook in unison. “Cubs take the first two at Wrigley and then lose three in a row?

With Sutcliffe, Smith, Ryno and Sarge!

That irritating ‘Cubs-busters’ song – I still can’t get it out of my head! I’ll take

my Cubs’ victories supersized!”

Doc, the oldest among us, cleared his throat, “1969. Back before wild cards, before November baseball, before this instant replay nonsense … before lights at Wrigley.” Everyone born after Aug. 8, 1988, stopped their conversations, turned around and listened.

Doc began to count on his fingers, “We had Banks. We had Santo. We had Williams. We had Ferguson Jenkins, for crying out loud.”

Doc spoke like some sort of Himalayan elder. “In first place for 155 days of the season. August 9th of that year comes, we were up nine full games over the Mets of New York. By September 2, that margin was cut to five games, but still in first place, nonetheless.”

Doc’s eyes began to well up. “Then that black cat walks behind Santo while he was in the on-deck. Don Young’s errors in center field. Ronnie getting mad at Donnie. Ernie getting mad at Ronnie. Leo Durocher takes a holiday. A house divided. Then losing 17 of the final 25 games of the season. A catastrophic implosion.” Doc was sobbing.

“Nice going.” Hal jabbed me hard in the ribs. “You made Doc cry.”

Jerry called over our waitress. “We need a round of four shots here.”

“Only four?” she asked.

“Just four. This guy hates the Cubs,” he said pointing at me.

“Wait a minute – I didn’t say that!” I protested.

“A Southsider?” she asked.

“Nope, not even. He just hates the Chicago Cubs.”

“These guys are twisting my words,” I said to the cute bar girl.

The waitress gave me a look and turned away.

“You guys are wrong. I like the Cubs.

It’s just that-” The bar girl returned with four shots and two Chicago ironworkers.

“This the guy?” the bigger of the two asked.

The waitress nodded.

Then the two giants each shoved a hand under my armpits, lifted me off the barstool, took me outside and, with my legs 3 feet off the ground, walked up Sheffield Avenue.

“Guys, I love the Cubs, but good drama is so important. What if The Yellow Brick Road was straight and one block long and Dorothy could see Oz from Munchkinland?”

They ignored me. Wrong audience.

“Okay,” I said. “How about if Rocky knocked out Mr. T with one punch in the first fight and never did all that insane training for a second fight.”

“Oh, you hate Rocky Balboa, too,” the smaller one said, squeezing my armpit hard.

They stopped at the intersection of Waveland and Sheffield and stood me up in front of a light pole. The bigger held me in place with his huge hand, while the smaller started duct taping me to the pole. The smaller finished taping. I couldn’t move an inch. I was duct taped from the letters on my shirt to my knees.

The larger looked at the back of Wrigley Field and then made a motion with his hand, following some sort of arc that started high over the center field wall and stopped on the top of my head.

“Perfect spot for seeing Cubs homeruns – up close.”

The two giants laughed.

“Really guys, I feel you’re pain. I’ve been there.” I pleaded. “After all, I’m a Red Sox fan at heart.”

The smaller giant tore off a piece of duct tape with his teeth. “Then have Billy Buckner save you,” he said, and taped my mouth shut.

Turn clutter into an act of kindness

By NICOLE ANZIA

The Washington Post The transition from summer to fall is an ideal time to get your home organized. As you put away all of that summer gear and prepare for cooler weather, why not also commit to clearing out some of the things you no longer need or use? Here are five quick ways to clean out items right now and donate them to an organization that actually will use them.

Luggage: Each person in your family needs one or two suitcases. If you have more than that, it’s time to purge. People seem to accumulate a luggage collection that far exceeds their needs, mostly because they don’t know what to do with the suitcases they no longer use and they feel uncomfortable throwing away something that still is useful.

However, there’s no point in storing bulky suitcases you’re not using, especially when there are organizations that gladly will accept them for kids and families in need. There are organizations in each state that collect donated suitcases for foster children, who often don’t have suitcases to pack their things in when they transition between homes. To find a place to donate luggage near you, visit www. donateluggage.com.

Toiletries from hotels: We all have a drawer or bin full of hotel shampoos, conditioners, soaps and lotions. We bring them home thinking we’ll definitely use them in our guest room or on a future trip, but somehow never remember to do so. If you’re not using them – and, let’s face it, you’re probably not going to – why not donate them to a local homeless or women’s shelter? You can find a shelter in your area by visiting www.homelessshelterdirectory.org or www.womenshelters.org. New and unopened bottles also can be sent to troops stationed abroad through an organization called Operation: Care and Comfort.

Reusable bags: Reusable tote bags are such a good idea – until you’ve accumulated so many you can’t actually use, or store, them all. As it turns out, reusable bags aren’t as environmentally friendly as many of us think, particularly because we don’t use them enough to make their production worth it. Instead of throwing away those totes you’re no longer using, donate them to local food pantries, farmers markets and homeless shelters, where they will be used and reused.

Empty picture frames: We all seem to be framing fewer pictures, and yet picture frames seem to magically multiply. Sometimes they’re given to us as gifts, and other times we buy them because we intend to use them but then somehow never get around to it.

Instead of keeping a collection of empty frames in a box in the basement, donate them to an organization that will give them to people who will use and enjoy them. Organizations that help people transition into homes, in particular, make good recipients of picture frames that are in like-new condition. Habitat for Humanity’s ReStores and Goodwill will accept donations of picture frames.

Glassware: I’ve noticed in my recent organizing jobs that many people own hundreds of glasses. Really. Most of us use the same six to eight glasses every day. Spend 30 minutes taking an honest accounting of all that glassware and see if you have at least a dozen items you could donate. I bet you do, and I bet you won’t miss them when they’re gone.

Balance scale and proportion to elevate the harmony and impact of a design.

5 decorating mistakes to avoid

By BRENDA RICHARDSON The Washington Post

After years of working with numerous clients, interior designers Michael Smith and Mary Cook have seen many of the same design mistakes over and over.

The Los Angeles-based Smith, who was appointed by the Obamas to redecorate the residential quarters of the White House, is the author of five decorating books, including his latest, “The Curated House.” Cook is president of Chicago-based Mary Cook Associates and author of “The Art of Space: The Seven Fundamentals That Guarantee Great Interior Design.”

The award-winning pros revealed decorating mistakes that drive them crazy and shared insider tips and tricks for creating a harmonious room design.

1.

Ignoring scale and proportion

Cook: Scale and proportion are the holy

grail of design. Scale is the size of things, and proportion is the relationship of those sizes to each other and the room as a whole. That is probably the biggest issue we end up fixing. The way American homes are built today, with open floor plans and volume ceilings, you have to integrate good scale and proportion into all the layers of your design. Starting with the backgrounds and ending with the last accessory. Americans get seduced by large, expansive spaces, but without good proportion in those spaces, they will lack harmony and impact. Managing volume space is intimidating and where I see people struggle the most.

Smith: This is a really, really terrible one. To have a 9-foot sofa in a small room can be kind of treacherous. Make sure furniture decor has similar scale. It’s all about scale, proportion, measuring, being conscious of the overall plan.

People buy things in isolation and don’t think of how they work together.

2. Neglecting the function of a room

Smith: People get trapped in the way things should feel and less focused on the way things should function. Making a dining room into a dining library gives it function. You could make the living room a study or put a TV in it so you could actually use it.

Cook: You have to know how you want the room to function. Are you going to entertain there, dine there, do you have a large family, is it just the two of you? Drill down into how you want the space to function. As you assemble and select the pieces of furniture, think about selecting pieces that will enhance the way you will live in the room. Think about multifunction and multitasking as you design your rooms. Chances are your rooms will function differently at different times of day and different times of the year.

3. Overdoing a theme room

Smith: Look at your world and your life, and look at what is personal to you. If you’re living in an apartment, you need to stick with a narrative that’s personal to you. To be influenced by a magazine and, say, a Swedish theme, unless it resonates with you, it seems kind of odd and influenced.

4. Buying poor-quality furniture

Smith: Avoid spending too much on one thing. Be judicious with your budget and buy things that are going to last. People buy very badly made furniture and fabric. Instead, buy a beautiful dining table, well-made upholstery. It’s almost like dressing for success.

5. Going overboard on accessories, art

Cook: Accessories and art will bring your composition into perfect harmony, but you have to be very careful not to clutter. You have to constantly do scale-and-proportion checks on yourself as you compose your art and accessories. They are the final layer that will oftentimes be what brings your composition into perfect harmony.

Local entrepreneurs find success, balance through ease of online marketing, support

I

By OLIVIA MORRISSEY • editorial@nwherald.com

n 2016, shopping local starts with a “like.”

Social media is filled with friends and family selling products, launching websites and taking steps to offer their services to a wider public.

Everyone, it seems, has caught the entrepreneurial spirit – turning a beloved hobby into a career that lets them set their own hours. Others are taking on sales to share the clothing, essential oils, skin-care products or accessories they love, or simply earning a little extra income through moneymaking apps, referrals or product feedback.

The current generational trend points to workers demanding greater consideration for life events outside of work.

Although employers have started to adapt by offering paid

family leave, flex schedules or 30-hour workweeks, for many, the culture isn’t changing fast enough, and going it alone is much more appealing.

The internet is able to break down many of the barriers that traditionally have stood in place to small businesses.

Sites such as Etsy and eBay allow people to have an online store up and running in a few hours, and Facebook and Instagram make marketing new products directly to potential clients easier than ever.

McHenry County’s entrepreneurs are building their client bases through likes, shares, retweets and more, showing that, sometimes, shopping online also means supporting small, local businesses.

After waking up, prepping breakfasts and lunches, getting her 7-yearold and 10-year-old off to school and dropping her youngest off at preschool, DeLeo has two and a half hours of photographing or editing time. Then, it’s time to pick up the kids from school, start homework, eat dinner and, after all are tucked into bed, edit more photos.

“

The self-taught photographer, who took yearbook photos in high school and picked the camera back up after becoming a mother, said she enjoys being able to choose her own hours and plan photo shoots around her kids’ schedules.

“I try to do a limited amount of sessions so I can still have family time,” DeLeo said. “I also have a lot of support from my husband, friends and the local photographers I’ve met through a Facebook group called The

Happy Togs. I definitely could not do it alone.”

The online community has introduced DeLeo to photographers from a variety of genres, and she said the expertise and support from the group, many of whom also are mothers, has been instrumental to her success as a photographer and businesswoman.

Continued from page 4 Marketing her business online, through her website and social media outlets such as Facebook and Instagram, has helped DeLeo grow her client base to about 60 since starting Amber DeLeo Photography in 2014. Her work primarily is comprised of newborn, maternity and family photoshoots, but she said the newborn shoots have imparted valuable knowledge for her work and life.

“I love doing newborn shoots; it’s just like being with my own kids,” DeLeo said. “In doing these shoots, when it is almost guaranteed that either me or the parents will get pooped on, I am reminded to be patient, and to be flexible and take things in stride.”

The same lessons translate to her role as business owner and mother.

“I think it is important to be an example, that I can be a stay-at-home mom while owning a business and having a career. There are definitely days when it’s a hot mess, but at least I’m going for it; at least I’m trying,” DeLeo said.

Anyone can be an expert

In the mid-1990s, Jess Waldeck, a Spring Grove native and graduate of Johnsburg High School, graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in computer engineering, a broad field of study he knew he could take in any number of directions. Since then, his path has led him to roles such as consultant at Ernst and Young, sales executive, ecommerce entrepreneur, husband, father and, now, founder of social sharing app Maven.

“My family still impacts the choice to launch Maven,” said Waldeck, who has four children younger than 6. “It was a harder decision, with kids, a mortgage, but this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass by.

My wife is my partner in making this work for our family.

“I compare it to a contractor building a house.

You’re building something that someone else will use, and you hope it will be a success and everything will go the right way, but you won’t know until you get to the end.”

Maven is an app designed to help other budding entrepreneurs to earn money from their expertise. The app is based on the idea that “everyone is an expert at something.” Users create product boards featuring

When other users view the boards, click through and buy a product from the retailer, the recommending user earns commission.

This model allows for unlimited earning potential. Users also can earn by referring friends to Maven and receiving 25 percent of their commission.

Launched in July, the webbased and mobile app evolved over the past year through online market feedback and already is seeing fast growth.

Social media is an important component of this success, as Jess users can share their recomWaldeck mendations via Facebook, Maven founder Twitter, Pinterest, email and blogs.

“Peer-to-peer recommendations are a top influencer in buyer decisions,” Waldeck said. “We believe anyone can be an expert, whether it’s a fashion blogger sharing the latest trends or an experienced mother of four recommending safe baby products.”

While not a full-time job, Maven offers a unique opportunity for people to make money through knowledge they already have and products they already use. Users are paid at the end of each month through PayPal in $20

increments.

“We are trying to give our users what they need to be successful with Maven, and are constantly looking for ways to evolve the product based on these needs,” Waldeck said.

“We built Maven as a platform that users can take in any direction, and it’s pretty cool to see that taking shape on the site.”

Good problems to have

Throwing clay on a pottery wheel has been Lindsay’s Klix’s chosen method of destressing since 1998, but it wasn’t until 2015 that she decided to turn her hobby into a business, Off Your Rocker Pottery.

“I was always asked if I sold my pieces,” Klix said. “I always said no, this is my hobby and my love. I didn’t want it to become work.

But soon, that ‘no’ became ‘not yet,’ and I realized there is no reason I shouldn’t love the work I do.”

Functionality is a key aspect of Off Your Rocker Pottery. All wheel-thrown and handbuilt creations, including plates, mugs, bowls and pinch pots, are functional and food-safe.

Klix’s studio, in the basement of her home, houses a workspace, inventory and shipping and photography staging areas.

Continued from page 5 She spends time throwing clay in the evenings, after her two young daughters have gone to bed, and often is so immersed in her work she forgets when it is her own bedtime. Items are organized by SKU numbers, making packing and shipping efficient. It helps, too, that Klix must only run downstairs to fulfill orders, allowing for an impressive 24-hour turnaround time for shipment.

Klix credits her organization and planning skills with the current laser-focused efficiency of her business.

“I did a lot of planning ahead before I launched the business, and that has made it so much easier for me,” she said. “Certainly, I get stressed sometimes from the amount of pieces to create or orders to fulfill, but those are good problems to have!”

She notes her secret to success also includes under-eye serum and lots of caffeine topped off with a smile.

“I try to be patient with myself and find a balance, whatever that looks like,” Klix said. “My work is a work in progress, and I think it always will be. I will get where I want to be, but I can’t do it all today.”

Selling on her website and through art galleries across the country, Klix credits social media with the growing following her pieces have garnered. She captures photos of her pieces on Facebook and Instagram, and shares personal recipes (featuring Off Your Rocker Pottery as serving vessels) on her blog.

“I’ve always been a functional potter. I don’t want my work to be kept on a shelf and dusted occasionally,” Klix said. “Through my website and social media sites, I’m able to help people see how they can use my pieces.”

The online marketing aspect of the business was new to Klix, but it has become another creative outlet for her, a fun way to engage with her audience and grow her business. She looks forward to the future, when all-day kindergarten for her girls promises more hours each day to hone her craft and continue to increase inventory volume, as well as sneak in a little extra sleep.

Still, it is the purpose behind Off Your Rocker Pottery that keeps Klix up late at night throwing clay and running up and down the basement stairs fulfilling orders.

“I want to be home with my kids and be there for them, but I also want something just for me and my identity,” Klix said. “For my girls, I want them, in their own lives, to go after their dreams, to not stay in a mundane way of life that is not for them. How can I tell my kids to go after their dreams if I don’t go after mine, too?”

Looking ahead to the next big drug problem I was reading an article the other day that came out of the Wall Street Journal a few weeks back, and it was shocking.

Basically, the article explained how the increased leniency and legalization of weed was in some ways responsible for our current heroin problem.

The article went on to explain in harshly economic terms how legalization basically dropped the economic bottom out of the drug cartels’ main cash crop. To maintain their economic balance, they needed to find an easily marketable, inexpensive and highly addictive substitute. With a less than informed user base, a burgeoning opioid prescription medication problem and a cheap product – viola, heroin problem.

Talk about unintended consequences. We didn’t think that one through, did we? Honestly, I didn’t see this one coming either, but drugs and money are inseparable, and maybe we should be more cognizant of those whose main job it is to run this market. Maybe they’re better business people than we gave them credit for.

So what’s next? I’ve been thinking about this, and I’m pleased to see all the attention heroin and opioid prescription medication is getting, but I also want to think ahead. One trend that has been historically true since the end of the Civil War is that primary drugs of choice tend to switch up roughly every 20 years and tend to alternate between sedatives and stimulants.

I’d say we’re in a sedative phase

Remember crack? When was the last time you heard anyone talking about crack? It hasn’t, of course, gone away, but it isn’t the scourge of the inner city it once was. What happened to the coke-choked ‘80s?

Cocaine, of course, still is around, but it’s not the fashionable drug it once was. So what’s next?

One area of concern is analogue drugs, or synthetics that mimic the action of better-known stimulants and hallucinogens but are a slightly different compound. Many of these are manufactured in China and sold via the internet and, more recently, person to person. Laws have shifted to prevent their import but have not evolved quickly enough.

The downside for the business-minded drug peddlers is there’s

no price advantage, and there’s little addictive potential.

I don’t know whether it’s out there yet, but my biggest concern would be an easier-to-make, smoother and safer methamphetamine-like substance that has addictive potential, something that promises instant confidence, better memory, brain potential enhancement and things millennials would relate to. If you want an easy to understand vision of this drug, see Bradely Cooper in “Limitless.”

Author Spotlight

PHIL MUNTON Hometown: Algonquin Latest Book: “Take Two, Off That Is, And Get Playing” Publisher: Side “A” Music, founded by BMI and Phil Munton Release Date: June 15, 2016

Where can we find your new book?

This book can be found at E-Bay, Crystal River Gifts in South Elgin, Styx & Stones in Hoffman Estates and by contacting me in person via email or facebook.

What’s it about?

The book is about helping people who bought a six-string guitar and tried to learn how to play it, but shortly gave up. This book explains how to convert a six-string guitar into a mid-range four-string guitar; how to re-tune it to my “special” tuning method; how to play all four strings all of the time (without muting any strings); and how to form simple chord versions using the chord diagrams in common, popular song books folks may already own. So there’s no need to buy special books. It also comes with a musical CD, which has two nursery rhyme songs on it to demonstrate the sound of my guitar when it’s tuned in this way. It also shows some simple chord versions to play in the key of “C.” Where did the idea come from?

The idea hit me when I learned I wasn’t the only person I know who bought a six-string guitar and found it very hard to learn. Other people I know who bought a six-string, tried to learn it and gave it up are my son, my brother and a niece.

I asked myself, “Why is this so hard to learn?” I looked at my hand and said, “Oh, no wonder. I have four fingers, and the guitar has six strings. Maybe if the guitar only had four strings, I could get this to work.” And sure enough, once I removed two strings, the effort began to pay off and soon, I was using the four-string to write and record original songs as well as performing live shows.

The four-string, tenor guitar is nothing new. It’s been around for many, many decades. The issue is the way a tenor guitar usually sounds. It has a very high-pitched tone to it.

The magic about my method of stringing and tuning a fourstring guitar is it brings the sound back down lower, closer to the tone of a regular six-string guitar, which in my humble opinion, sounds much better. Plus, one doesn’t need to go out and buy another guitar or new music books. They can use the books and guitar they already have to start experiencing the joy and fun of creating music.

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

The genre of this book is “self-help” or instructional. I was drawn to write it to share an option with those who might have tried to play six-string guitar but found it difficult to learn, as I did. This book presents an opportunity for folks

to get out that old guitar they fell in love with at the music store, but is now sitting in the corner collecting dust, and give it another try.

Who is the intended audience?

This book is aimed at anyone who ever bought a 6-string guitar, tried to learn how to play it, and then gave up because it was too hard. I have a feeling there are a lot more folks who fall into that category than just the three people I mentioned earlier.

Why is this story important to you?

I feel this is important because I think a lot of people who are drawn to play music have something to offer to the world in the form of their talent, whether that means writing songs or playing songs they like. There is so much joy to gain from live music. That happiness is given not only to the person playing and singing, but also to the people around the musician hearing the music. I sang and played for my mother when she was in the Alzheimer’s unit of a hospital years ago, and loved when her eyes lit up. I’ve played at other nursing homes as well as senior centers, fish frys and outdoor festivals, and it tickles me pink when folks come up to me and tell me how much they enjoy what they’re hearing.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

Writing down all of the information only took about five months. Learning from all of my “experiments” with the guitar took about 20 years of trial and error. It was just this past year, toward the end of 2015, that I came up with the final experiment that proved to be the winning combination of which strings are best suited for what I was trying to accomplish. The icing on the cake, though, was discovering the special way to tune these four strings that made the guitar sound a lot more “normal” to me. I did a lot of research to find out whether anyone else had used this tuning method on a four-string guitar, and to my surprise, I couldn’t find anyone who discussed it. So then I knew I had something special worth sharing with folks.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

What was the hardest part?

What I enjoyed most about writing this book is the idea of sharing information, that I learned on my own, with other people so they can give the process a try and discover how much fun playing a musical instrument can be. The hardest part was editing and re-writing and making sure I would be totally understood. I edited it down to a quick read of about 700 words on four pages along with a couple of illustrations to make it plain and simple.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/indie/self-publishing)?

I decided to self-publish because going through the traditional channels is very time consuming. Over the years,

I’ve gone through that whole scene of contacting publishers, asking permission to submit, waiting and waiting and getting rejection letters, and it can be really frustrating.

What is your education/background?

I taught two different music classes part time at Triton College for about seven years. One was a singing class and the other a songwriting class in the continuing education department. I am a former member of the Association for Composers Authors and Publishers and a current writer and publisher member of BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated).

I have an associate degree. I started writing songs in 1974 and in 1986 received my first publishing contract for a song I wrote called “I’ll Take Country Music, Any Time” which went up to number 18 on the indie charts here in America. The following year, the same song was recorded by a Canadian group, who took the song to number 15 in Canada. In 1988, I started my own publishing firm, Side “A” Music – BMI and began making demo recordings for other songwriters.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

I decided to write this book because I felt this information might assist so many other people who may have invested money into a six-string guitar and were looking forward to experiencing the satisfaction that comes from playing such a beautiful instrument, but failed because of the high skill level that is required to master it. Learning to play the four-string guitar in the method I describe in this book is much easier than a six-string and may be just as rewarding for most folks.

I’m the kind of person who hates to give up or spend money on something that isn’t going to be used. So I kept on trying different ideas, and when I found one that worked, I was glad I stayed with it.

Who are your favorite authors?

I’m into a lot of self-help gurus, such as Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Depak Chopra, Marriane Williams, David Viscott, Leo Buscaglia, Dale Carnegie and Earnest Nightingale. My dad was the midwest sponsor for the Dale Carnegie Course, so I grew up around this very PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) lifestyle.

Have you written anything else?

Yes. In 2011 I wrote and illustrated a children’s book titled “You Are An Eagle, You Can Fly.” It’s the story about an eagle who was raised by chickens and told she couldn’t fly. Then one day she learns who she really is and rises above her old beliefs. The hope is to teach our young to have high self-esteem and to believe in their dreams. The book also comes with a musical CD that has four versions of the title song, and the words of each recording match the words in the book so kids can read it while singing along. The book is at the two local Algonquin libraries and online at www.cdbaby. com, Amazon.com and through in-person sales too.

What’s next for you?

Next up is a live show at the Senior Services Center in Crystal Lake, performing at a “Falls Prevention” program, in association with the National Council On Aging. Also I may do some more live performances at local fish frys. And in the fall, I really would like to get back into the music studio to do some more recordings of a few of my “older” original songs, plus a patriotic thank you song I recently finished writing for Veteran’s Day coming up Nov. 11.
